Lots of wood, vanilla, nuts, brown sugar, light cream, and something like mineral spirits in the alcohol that seems decidedly out of place.

Taste:

Some sweetness and light spices, including some pepper. Dry tannins with a bit of the wrong kind of bite.

Finish:

Moderate but quite dry and woody.

Overall:

In the barrel too long in my opinion, not to its advantage. A big disappointment to me cause I was expecting much more from this bourbon!! A clear case of older ain't always better! Is this a bourbon that couldn't make the grade under another label??
